$50 & Under: Shoes The Color Of Valentine's Day

It's red shoe Friday, gals! Check out our adorable picks and get in the mood for love with trendy booties, sexy heels and comfy ballet flats—they're all under $50 and one pair gives back to Haiti.

These trendy ankle bootie stilettos are a steal at just $27.95. I'd love to see them with a steel gray dress or a pencil skirt (less expected than an LBD here) or a pair of gray jeans. I even think they could be work-appropriate with a conservative- everywhere-else outfit.

Do you guys have a pair of Toms yet? If you don't know about them yet, they're a do-gooder brand that gives back one pair of shoes to a child in need for each pair purchased (In February, they plan to give 30,000 additional shoes to Haiti). It's an amazing company and I can personally vouch as an owner of several pairs of their canvas kicks, how comfortable they are—not to mention cute with your jeans.

Finally, if you've got a hot date this Valentine's Day—or are hoping to score one—you need a pair of flirty peep-toe heels. My vote goes to this ruffly pair from Unlisted. With a mix of satin and patent, they're about as attention-getting as a self-respecting STF-er wants her Friday night heels to be. Now, happy weekend, go have fun!

Which of these shoes do you like best? Do you already have a pair of red shoes?
